Magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) is a technique used to separate and purify specific populations of cells from a mixed cell sample based on their surface antigens. This method utilizes magnetic fields and magnetic microbeads that are linked to antibodies targeting specific cell markers. ### Process Overview: 1. **Antibody Coating**: Cells in a suspension are incubated with magnetic microbeads that are coated with antibodies specific to the surface markers of the target cell population.
